Thou long i'm risoned stream
Welcome the tinkle Of thy crystal beads
AS FLASHING raindrops to the fi0Wery meaGs.
AS summers breath to AVon's whispering

night,
Leap forth TO life and light;
wake from the darkness of tiny troubled dream,
And greet with answering lie the mornfnRss

No puEer lymph the white, llmbed Naiad knows
THAI from thy chalice flows;
Not the bright spring of fries sunny chores.
starry win spsngles washed from golden ores.
Nor CLASSY stream Blandu las fountain pours
Nor wave translucent where sabrlna fair
Braids her loose flowing hair
Nor the swift current, stainless as It rose
Where chill Arveiron steals from Alpine SHOWS.
Here shall the traveller stay his weary feet.
To seek thy calm retreat;
Here at nigh noon the brown- armed reaper
rest;
Here, when the shadows, lengthening from the
wet,
Call the mute song. bird to his leafy nest,
hatrOn and maid shall chat the cares away,
That brooGed DER the day,

And all the arches ring with language sweet.
Here shall the steed, his patient life who spends
In toll that never ends
Hot from his thirsty tramp DER hill and plain,
Plunge his red nostrlls, while the tort1ring rein
Drops In loose loops beside his floating name;
Nor the poor brute that shares his masters lot
Find hisssmsn needs forgot
Tfues' of humble, long enduring friends.
WHO'S presence cheers, whose guardian care
Here lark ard hrnsh and nightingale shall ain
And skfnming swallows dip,
AND strange shy wanderers fold their lustrous
plumes
Fragrant from bowers that lent thei. sweet
